Rick Judges Yakima ADDYs

Posted by Rick Hosmer on February 22 2010| 0 Comments

Last month, the Yakima chapter of the American Advertising Federation recruited me to judge the design and advertising entries that were submitted for their 2010 competition.

I worked with Ryan Stemkoski (Zipline Interactive), Jessie Pierpopint (Seven2) and Kevin Armstrong (local freelancer) in judging entries on Saturday. I enjoyed judging with the guys. Everyone had a different specialty and it was kind of fun being the experienced "sage" when it came to judging. A couple of these judges were probably in diapers at the time I submitted my first ADDY entries.

It was interesting to see the work produced by central Washington creative firms and organizations. We selected a "Best of Show" and awarded entries in a variety of print, interactive and media categories.

This morning I received an email from the Yakima AAF group saying that they were "very impressed with the time, genuineness and professionalism (the judges) gave to review the work submitted." Glad to be of service, Yakima Ad Fed.
